Negro Red Slaps At
Vice President
Washington, March 5.—While sen
ate sponsors of anti-lynching legisla
tion protested that he was hurting
their cause, Benjamin Davis, negro
Communist, called Vice President
Garner an “evil old labor baiter” to
day and accused him of agreeing with
President Roosevelt to “scuttle” the
anti-lynch bill.
Davis, who identified himself as an
associate editor of the Daily Worker,
Communist newspaper, testified at a
tumultous hearing before a senate
judiciary sub-committee considering
an anti-lynching bill already passed
by the house. The measure would
provide penalties for counties and
county ofacials in event of lynching.
The negro’s remarks about the
president and vice president, and his
reference to Southern members of
congress was “stooges for the land
lords and mill owners who degrade
white womanhood by refusing to pay
them a living wage” were stricken
from the hearing record by Chairman
Van Nuys, Democrat of Indiana.
Van Nuys, himself a sponsor of
anti-lynching legislation, warned the
witness repeatedly against referring
to members of congress and threaten
ed at one point to call capitol police
and have him taken away.
"You crashed the gates of this com
mittee just to try and send out Com
munist propaganda,” Van Nuys de
clared. “You have done more harm
to prevent passage of this bill than
anyone who has ever appeared.”

IN MEMORIAM
A. Hoy Aull, Newberry, S. C.
Yes, he is absent! He who was to
us the light and life of our happy
home. It was his smile that made
our home so gay, his voice that made
it eloquent with joy. His very tread
had life and gladness in it. But ’tis
gone, and silence fills his place since
a year ago to-day, March 15, 1939.
Solitude spreads like a shadow over
all the walls and not a place, chair
or book is what it was when he was
here.
We are proud of the life our
father lived and thankful for the ex
ample h^ has set for us. He left
us just vmen we needed him most,
but God needed another angel and
called our loved one.
Father was a kindly man—jolly,
but fair-minded, full of courage, but
without pretense. He was very
thoughtful of us, both in deed and
words, always ministering to our
comfort. His pleasing disposition
radiated sunshine and happiness in
our home each day. We can never
forget him—Our daddy.
Mrs. Hoy Aull, Hoy and Dot.

NOTICE OF ELECTION OF TRUS
TEES FOR RIDGE SPRING SCHOOL
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 40
Columbia, March 5.—South Carolina
Republicans of the Joseph W. (Tieless
Joe) Tolbert faction will hold their
annual state convention here March
27, their executive committee decided
today at a meeting which gave the
colorful political leader an opportun
ity to assail the Democrats.
“The Democrats have had this
country, lock, stock and barrel, for
eight years—and look at it!" Tolbert
told newspapermen.
“Look at the people begging for
bread and some you’ll see sitting on
the curb, with a little bag thrown
over their shoulders, and the dust set
tling down their necks, and they just
don’t want to wok.”
He said his group “wanted to help
the nation get out of a bad condition”
and was not simply “trying to fight
the Democrats.”
Tolbert expressed the belief that
President Roosevelt could not be
elected for a third term if he was a
candidate.
The faction will “put out congres
sional candidates in each of the six
districts of the state this year” Tol
bert said.

Aveleigh Budget Over
Subscribed by $1,100;
$4,500 Pledged From
Pews Sunday Morning
Significant in the history of Ave
leigh Presbyterian church, after the
budget of this church for 1940 had
been increased $500.00 the canvass of
last Sunday over-subscribed the bud
get by $1,121.60. Total subscriptions
amounted to $6,649.60 to the Lord s
work through this church for next
year. This singular experience in
the history of the church is partly
explained, materially speaking, by 3
things, 1. The increase in recent
years; 2. the accumulated enthusiasm
and interest in the church from evan
gelistic efforts being made in the
church at present, and 3. The very
effective way in which the men of
the church presented the Canvass last
Sunday. The program of evangelism
now in progress in the church has
stimulated much interest throughout
the entire membership, cqupled with
a most thorough preparation for the
Canvass by the Board of Deacons, un
der the leadership of chairman A. T.
Neely, the canvass was the most sat
isfactory, thorough, and energetic
ever. Last Sunday, with a record
congregation present to participate in
the signing of pledge cards, Dr. A.
T. Neely., Mr. E. B. Purcell, Mr. LeOn
Nichols, Mr. S. A. Williams, and Mr.
J. N. Beard, spoke effectively and en
thusiastically on their personal ex
periences with the tithing method of
sunorting the Lord’s work. Mr. Beard,
of the A. R. P. church, gave an un
usual testimony of how the Belk
chain of stores, operated by a staunch
life-long Presbyterian tither, is con
ducted by tithers and tithing methods,
and told how, through the terrible de
pression, every store kept its doors
open for business without a single
failure. Instead of failure, it was
building and opening up new stores,
and at the same time giving away
thousands of dollars to help build
country churches thorughout the
country. Each Belk store is required
by the management to make propor
tionate returns to a “Belk Memorial
Fund” to be given away to the Lord’s
work. It has given $250 to assist in
the building of Helena church by Av
eleigh. The paster. Rev. C. A. Cal-
cote, states that he purposely refrain
ed from preaching a single sermon
on “money” during the season, know
ing that his churchmen would do the
job, and they didn’t fail. $4,550 of
the budget was subscribed at this
service. Twenty-six men met at the
church Sunday afternoon to complete
the canvass. Four others, who would
have been present, were at their posts
of duty in mission Sunday schools.
Rev. Calcote sharply called the
congregation’s attention to the im
portant fact that the church had not
been called together to participate in
a “money-raising campaign,” but
stressed the point of being assembled
to worship, as usual, and on this
particular day to worship AT WORK
in undergirding the Lord’s business
for another year. Aveleigh has al
ways insisted that her giving be pit
ched on the lofty plane of worship
to God, instead of a bill-paying ne
cessity. Two new members were re
ceived into the membership of the
church during the service. Three
new deacons will be ordained and in-
stalled at the earliest possible ser
vice. The pastor will speak next
Sunday on some phase of “Witness
ing for Christ.” A record-breaking
congregation being present last Sun
day, it is believed another large com
pany of worshippers will be present
next Sunday.
South Carolina Pres' ytery’s
League of Young People will meet
at Greenwood next Saturday, March
16th, 10 a. m. All the young people
of Aveleigh are expected to attend.
This is the annual Spring Rally which
is always attended by 1' rge groups.
